We are a financially sustainable £7m charity which aims to provide camaraderie, benevolence and support to women who have served in the Army. Additionally, we aim to exert influence within the military charity sector to broaden support for female veterans.

We organise both national and local events for our members to attend where they meet up with old friends, remember those we have lost, support each other, have a lot of fun and make new and lasting memories. We have over 4000 active members which we hope to grow as we reach out to many more female veterans eligible to join our Association.

We are now looking to recruit an Operations Officer to support the output of our HQ, including member contact, communications, and events.

You will:

● have experience of working in a member or public-facing organisation, supporting and liaising with a diverse cohort of individuals in a wide variety of interests and needs

● have experience of working with volunteers

● have experience of writing engaging articles which will inspire your contributions to the Association magazine – The Lioness - published biannually

● have experience of social media platforms

● understand the value of strong communication and be experienced in engaging people from many walks of life and tailoring your communication style to a variety of audiences

● be skilled at building positive working relationships, with a friendly and engaging manner

● be highly organised with great attention to detail, and work well within a small staff team where all staff are expected to pitch in and work collaboratively

The charity is governed by a Board of Trustees with a number of sub-committees, all volunteers. We are a small staff team of 5, led by a CEO, who are motivated by the good work we do to support some amazing, brave and pioneering women. There will be opportunities to attend events and to meet many inspirational women. We are proud of the work we do to support female veterans, many of whom are now well into retirement, some are lonely and have reduced mobility, so they rely on our communications to keep them in touch with like-minded comrades, whilst some have fallen on hard times and need our financial support.

All applicants must be able to demonstrate current eligibility to work in the UK.

We are an inclusive employer seeking to attract and employ the best people from the widest talent pool and committed to supporting our staff and the female veterans we serve.

If you are a motivated, self-starting and engaging individual with a passion for working with people and supporting their needs, then we look forward to receiving your application by way of a CV and a supporting statement demonstrating your suitability for the person specification. Please send by midday on Monday 16th June.
